Shenzhen Day 2: Bo Yuen Dim Sum

Second day of the trip. We woke up early to have dim sum. It's about 10 minute walk from our inn. Too bad, the dim sum only start at 10am. However, they allowed us to have a seat and a pot of tea while waiting for the kitchen to prepare.
Bo Yuen Dim Sum is located inside Yuan Bo Yuan Hotel at 5th floor.


We only manage to take this much picture before a waiter come over and stop us, telling us photography is not allowed. =.=lll This breakfast cost us RMB79, which for me, it's a bit expensive. We can get more than this with RM40 in KL.
After finishing our breakfast, we checked out from Zhu Zhi Lin home inn and check into Luo Hu Home Inn (RMB189) which is a wrong choice. I planned it this way because I thought it would be more convenient to go back to our hotel if we shop until late night. But, it's a mistake because the location of this hotel from the Luo Hu Station/ Shopping mall is about 25-30 minute walk, which is not easy with so many luggage and tiring leg after shopping. And with this 25 minute distance, it's more comfortable to spend it in the MTR back to Zhu Zi Lin Home Inn, which is only 5 minute walk from the station.
This is the external of Luo Hu. MTR station is located below and this is the shopping mall. We only spend around 1 hour walking around inside the mall. For me, there is nothing much to be buy here. The people are so scary (once you asked and not buying, be prepared to be pestered). We then take MTR to Lao Jie, which is more comfortable for shopping, as the price is put up and no necessary to bargain.
And there goes our second day, fully shopping. At night, we took taxi back to our Inn from Luo Hu station, which the taxi driver laugh at us, telling us that we can actually walk back from station. We knew it's walking distance (25 minute is not walking distance for me if there is transport), but we have no energy to walk anymore, thus paying RMB18 for the taxi ride =)
